| The Union Cabinet has cleared amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act increasing punishment for talking on the cellphone, not using seat-belts, jumping red lights, and driving drunk.
Talking on the cellphone while driving would attract heavy fines. First time offenders will be charged Rs 500 and subsequent offenses will lead to fines up to Rs 5000.
Drunk drivers will be penalised according to the amount of alcohol found in their blood. Dangerous driving will face a fine of Rs 1000 and/or up to six months in jail.
The new rules will apply across the country if Parliament approves of them. | |
